Default Cabriolet Maintenance

Attention, fellow Porsche owners!
This weekend, I’ve got some important homework for cabriolet owners. If it’s been a while, now’s the perfect time to clean your drains and leak-test your top. In my latest video, I’ll walk you through the process and explain why it’s crucial for keeping your car in top shape.

Bonus: I’ve also updated my interior, revisiting some DIY tricks from last year!

So, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!

3 minute job:
(1) Hex head seat latch bolt
(2) Pull seatbelt cover straight out, philips head screw x 1
(3) Remove speaker cover torx screws x 2, remove speaker cover, and another philips head screw x 1 behind that
(4) Pull trim from speaker cavity to centerline of car to release one clip
(5) Remove trim - Lift up to release clip at rocker carpet, then toward front of car

Option to remove seatbelt anchor bolt, can be serviced without this step though
